Chapter Text
Changing one's routine could sometimes be a little tricky in certain cases, but for Louis, it wasn't, not on that day, when the blue-eyed omega was anxious. Summer break was officially over, and Louis was missing his school, teachers, and some of his classmates. The first day would be the beginning of a great achievement, as he was finally in his third year of high school and had many plans. Louis Tomlinson has been a very intelligent, responsible, and organised omega since he was a child. Now eighteen-years-old, the blue-eyed boy intended to turn every day of that year into something productive because, after all, there was very little time left to apply to the university of his dreams.
Studies always accompanied him, and Louis didn't have many friends, only Niall Horan, but the beta was just one of those friends who only sticks around during school, so during the summer and winter breaks, Louis always felt alone. He had four younger sisters, but they were already sick of their brother, mainly because they also had their individual friendships. During the breaks, his family travelled to Italy. They were nice days with his parents and sisters, but most of the time it was a bit lonely not having anything to do; one of the reasons he was so excited to finally get back into his routine was that he enjoyed his teachers and talking about the assignments with Niall, and when they had class, Louis could invite him over to his house with a study excuse.
He studied at Kensington Park High School, one of the most well attended and expensive schools in London, their tuition was worth gold, and his parents were proud to pay the tuition for their son and daughters, although his sisters were studying at another school because they were younger. Louis was simply in love with the uniform, which consisted of a dark blue blazer, a red tie, and dark blue social pants, and there was a white button-down shirt that the students usually wore since some did not wear the full uniform. Since his first year, Louis always made it a point to wear all the pieces; he was a great student and liked to keep everything in order.
His thick thighs were a problem for the omega because wearing pants sometimes left his body very marked and that bothered him. Louis didn't have very good self-esteem, but he tried to ignore it most of the time, even if he wanted to have his legs a little thinner, like some omegas that participated on the cheerleading team. The student spent too much time trying to fix his hair in front of the mirror, but ended up giving up, leaving the bangs aside as he always used to—sometimes he tried to do a quiff, but got frustrated because his hair was too straight and didn't stay in place. He wanted to try to look a little more beautiful, but in his insecure mind that was impossible, and he thanked the gods for not having to wear his glasses anymore, he was tired of so much humiliation.
From a very young age, Louis’ reserved nature made him a victim of bullying, which greatly complicated his school life. Always distant from everyone, speaking low and withdrawn, feeling ashamed of almost everything, even of existing. Some days were very difficult, especially in elementary school—the boys were cruel, especially the alphas, always talking about his appearance or his glasses. The little boy always cried during recess, spending more time in the library than with the others. When he got older, he tried to change a little and ignore the talk, lucky that the first year wasn't so cruel. The teenagers didn't focus on making fun of people anymore because at that age everyone wanted to date.
Louis found himself calmer, but with time this also bothered him a little, mainly because he began to imagine that he had flaws in his body and manner, and to see that most omegas called the attention of the alphas and he didn't made him sad most of the time. Worst of all was a certain alpha. Louis met him on the first day of school at the new school. He was extremely handsome, with green eyes, a few curls in his hair, tattoos, the strong and predominant smell, and the most important, the naughty way. His name was Harry Styles, and Louis had a secret crush on the alpha; everyone in that school probably had the same feeling for the green-eyed alpha, but the omega knew he would never have a chance.
Louis had no experience whatsoever, he didn't even know how to kiss properly. He had once kissed a beta when he was fifteen and nothing like that ever happened again, sexual relations were also out of the question, and somehow, in the omega's mind, no alpha would want to have anything with him because of this. Of course, Harry never even looked at him because the alpha had many omegas, betas, and even alphas around him, always having sex with someone different, and always making it clear to everyone who wanted to know that Styles had a typical bad boy look, and maybe that was what drew the attention of so many people.
When the clock struck eight o'clock in the morning, Louis hurried out of the house, ignoring breakfast that day. He urgently needed to start controlling his eating, the classes were back and he had exaggerated by eating too many snacks during the vacations. His father, Mark Tomlinson, always dropped him off at school when he could, mainly because it was on the way to the Tomlinson's company and the omega didn't know how to drive yet, and Louis took that time to talk a little with his father, even though he had his driver. When they arrived, Louis swallowed dryly, sighing in satisfaction for knowing that he would distract his mind a little that day, anxious to know what contents he would learn, and maybe just a little excited to see Harry Styles.
Louis found Niall in the closet corridor, opening his arms to hug his beta friend, mumbling that he missed him, as did the other, who started talking about his trip to Ireland, saying how nice it was to see his grandparents and distant relatives again. While they chatted and caught up, the omega looked up his new schedule on the message board, taking a picture so that he could organise himself and know which books he should use the next day, taking his attention away from Niall only when his blue eyes met the one he wanted to see, trying to disguise himself while paying attention to the Irishman, because his crush on Harry Styles was a secret.
“That bastard Styles gets more handsome every year,” Niall commented to Louis when he spotted the alpha at the end of the hall. Harry had his arms around two omegas, completely lazily sniffing each of their necks a few times, and Louis looked away; he didn't need to face that scene.
“It's true…” Louis smiled sideways as he said it, not realising his gesture. He really thought that alpha was very handsome, he didn't know if it was a teenage freshness, but he couldn't help it, because it was impossible not to stare at the rebellious way the alpha wore his uniform—always just the white shirt with the buttons open, the wrong tie hanging around his neck in the totally wrong way, black jeans with rips on the knee, dark glasses, and a red cap, he completely contradicted the uniform of that place.
“What was that, Tomlinson?” Niall asked, surprised because his friend almost never talked about the alphas. Niall sometimes commented on some that were cute, but Louis never cared.
“Nothing, what?” Louis asked, confused.
“That little smile of yours,” Niall asked suspiciously, and Louis felt his cheeks automatically flush, feeling his heart race for being caught.
“There's no smile,” the omega tried to deny, which made matters worse by making him more nervous, biting his lips to try to control his breathing.
“Are you into Styles?” Niall asked, and Louis stared at him, not knowing what to say, looking around to see if anyone was listening.
“Of course not, are you crazy?” Louis answered nervously. He definitely didn't know how to hide it, and Niall was surprised by this revelation.
“I thought you were a straight arrow, Tomlinson. But look at you, you're in love with the most unattractive alpha male of this school,” Niall joked with his friend, and Louis lowered his head to try to disguise his red cheeks; he was an idiot.
“I'm not into him, I just think he's as handsome as any human being on earth,” Louis justified, because it was true, he never saw anyone say that Harry Styles was ugly in that school, even some alphas had a thing for the alpha, but Louis didn't know if Styles was the type to get with all the classes—probably yes.
“How did I not realise before that you're into him?” Niall asked, ignoring everything the omega had just said.
“You haven't heard a word I've said, have you? Forget it, Niall,” Louis said, even though he knew it wouldn't happen, one of the reasons he never told the beta.
“This is so cliché, the nerd and the popular,” Niall teased, and Louis stared at him.
“It definitely isn't,” Louis tried to explain, mentally wishing that Niall would just ignore the subject once and for all.
“And why not?” Niall asked, looking for reasons to justify the omega's answer.
“Isn't it obvious? Harry would never have anything to do with me, and it's better this way. I don't want to be just one more on his list, and I'm also different from those people he likes, I could never win him over. And I'm not that good looking either.” Louis was sincere, getting upset to believe that this was his reality, feeling his eyes water a little, because it was hard to get it into his head that things were like that, that he wasn't attractive enough to make anyone like him.
“You've definitely gone crazy,” Niall replied in disbelief, because that was a complete lie.
“I know my reality,” Louis concluded, holding his books to his chest, trying to cover it up a bit.
“You are one of the most beautiful omegas I know,” Niall told his friend, hoping that he would understand even though he knew it would be hard to get it through Louis’ head.
“You don't have to say that just to please me, you know,” Louis reminded his friend, and Niall rolled his eyes because the omega never believed his words, and it sometimes made him sad to see that Louis had no idea about his beauty, but the beta hoped that he would find out soon.
The main bell rang, causing all the students to go to their respective classrooms. Louis and Niall's first class that day was math, and everyone liked the teacher a lot despite his discipline. Louis, as usual, was one of the first to enter the room, being surprised when after a few minutes he could see Harry walking towards one of the empty desks in the back of the room with Zayn Malik by his side. It was not as if he had never had the alpha's presence in a classroom—in previous years, they had shared a room in some subjects—but they never talked, even though the omega secretly loved the alpha's husky voice, since Styles always had something to say.
“Welcome to another school year, and this year you need to be even more dedicated,” the teacher started his class speech, and Louis put his attention on teacher Marcos—he liked him a lot and would like to hear what he had to say, unlike Harry, who at that moment was exchanging messages with an omega on his cell phone, with his headphones on, listening only from one side to pretend that he was paying attention to the teacher, while listening to Blinding Lights by The Weekend.
“How was your night last night?” Zayn asked Harry, who was sitting in front of the alpha, so he had to turn his body sideways in his chair to face the green-eyed man, who blocked his cell phone, pulled out the only earphone that was in his ear, and grinned at the other alpha.
“Simply wonderful, of course,” Harry replied smugly, because Zayn knew he had spent the night with an omega. The sex had been very satisfying, but it was just that, it always would be. The alpha didn't care about romance or anything like that, he liked the relationship-free life he had.
“Did you see that there is a new student in our class?” Zayn commented to the alpha, placing his eyes on the omega who was sitting near the row of the wall, blue eyes, long red hair, a striking beauty, and Harry tried to disguise it, turning his neck to look for the person his friend had talked about, giving a naughty smile when he recognized her.
“Of course I saw her, and I've already talked to her,” Harry answered his friend, who became interested.
“Is she single?” Zayn asked.
“Yes, I got her number. She's really hot, let's definitely get laid,” Harry shrugged, making his friend laugh quietly so as not to draw the teacher's attention.
“You were quick,” Zayn commented, surprised that his friend had already talked to the new student.
“I always am, but you know I don't care, so after I'm with her, the way is clear for you.” Harry made it clear, as he and Zayn had that thing, after all everyone had a right, right?
“Done,” Malik agreed, turning to the front of the class so that he could pretend to pay attention to the teacher.
“For the assignment I will give today, I will need you to do it in pairs, but since I know you very well, I decided that this time I will choose the pairs,” the teacher said, and he could hear most of the students snorting or complaining, because of course everyone there already knew each other and had their certain pairs, and the teacher would like to change this a little, mainly so that the students would mix.
“Seriously?” Zayn rolled his eyes, because he was always Harry's duo; the two of them didn't get a good grade together because they always asked someone for the answer, but the idea of sitting together was so that they could talk, just what the teacher was trying to avoid.
“I hope I'm lucky enough to be with the new student,” Harry commented to Zayn when the teacher started announcing the names of the pairs.
“You are shameless,” Malik laughed at his friend, shaking his head in denial at his attitude.
There were almost thirty students in the room, and the teacher was choosing the pairs as he looked at the names on the roll call, so it took a while for him to choose, remembering each student, because he was a teacher and paid close attention to each person in class, especially the ones who talked too much when they were together, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Those two definitely couldn't stay together, the teacher wasn't foolish at all, deciding to change things a little and put one of the alphas with someone he knew wouldn't attract parallel conversations’ after all, the intention was to learn the subject so they could do the work all together, and a student who knows more always ends up helping one who knows less, so, with this thought, he concluded his purpose.
“Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles,” the teacher announced, and Louis blinked in disbelief, trying to process whether he had heard correctly, unlike Harry who twisted his lips, upset that he hadn't fallen in with the one he wanted.
``At least you'll get a good grade,” Zayn assured Harry, after all, if his friend got a good grade, he would too.
“I'm counting on it, last year I almost repeated because of my grades, I need to try to focus this year, it will definitely be bad to repeat again, especially now in the third year.” Harry was a little happier, after all it had been horrible to repeat the first year of high school, he remembered even nowadays how much his father yelled at him for his incompetence, Styles was the oldest in the class by only one year of difference.
“Don't forget to send me the answers later,” Zayn reminded, and Harry laughed because of course he would, looking for Louis. He didn't remember much who he was, he wasn't one to notice much, but he knew he was an omega and very smart.
“Zayn Malik and Margot Steve,” the teacher said, leaving Harry surprised while Zayn celebrated because he had gotten paired with the new student, staring at Styles smugly, and the alpha snorted in disbelief.
Louis was still processing this, looking discreetly at Harry and quickly looking away from the alpha when Styles' green eyes met his, making the omega look at Niall with his heart racing. He was nervous and definitely wouldn't be able to do the job with the alpha, he would have to sit next to him and just with this thought he already felt embarrassed, he had never been so close to Styles as he probably would be, he didn't have the courage for that. He swallowed dryly. He needed to do something, he was afraid of doing everything wrong and looking like an idiot.
“Fate is on your side,” Niall commented slowly to his friend, and Louis despaired internally, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
“I'll ask the professor to change both of us,” Louis answered nervously, his voice failing him because he was shy, he was sure that his choice had been wrong.
“He can't change,” Niall said as if it were obvious, because of course, if one student changed, all the others would want to change and it would end up being a mess.
“I don't know what to do, it's Harry!” Louis whispered to the beta, because he was practically implying something like, "He's the alpha that I've had feelings for since first grade, for God's sake. I don't want to look like an idiot in front of him," but the omega was good at controlling himself.
“You better go soon, he's staring at you.” Niall didn't help Louis' situation much by saying that, and the omega took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
“I'll pretend I didn't see it,” Louis replied and Niall laughed.
“Stop it, Louis. You're embarrassing yourself. Just go sit with him.” Niall gathered the omega's materials that were on the table, handing it to him so he could go, making mention of taking the table that the omega was sitting at out of his way so he could set it up, since his partner would soon be sitting next to him, practically kicking the omega out of there, and Louis cringed as he got up from his chair.
Louis stared at Harry, and the alpha didn't say anything, so the omega walked slowly to the other side of the room where he was, clutching his notebook and the math book tightly to his chest to try to control himself, feeling his heart beating extremely hard because he was very nervous and he hadn’t been expecting this; he had never been through this before, he had always admired Styles a little too much, and now he was approaching the curly man, starting to wonder if he was well dressed or if his hair was tidy, or if his clothes smelled good. Would Harry notice any of his weirdness?
Contrary to what the omega imagined, Harry was carefree, not caring much for the presence of the other. He didn't like math much and that work would probably be very boring, especially for having to do it with someone he didn't know, all right, Styles was popular and talked to most of the people there, but nerds usually didn't want to talk to anyone and Louis was probably like that. The messages he exchanged with another omega on his cell phone were more interesting at that moment, he was practically scheduling another hook-up and couldn't miss this opportunity.
When Louis sat down next to the alpha, the blue-eyed one stared at the professor, trying to look nonchalant, pretending to listen to what he was explaining about the job, when in fact his full attention was on the strong, woody smell of the alpha next to him. Harry was sitting extremely lazy in his chair, twisting his lips in boredom, fiddling with his rings to try to distract himself, and sometimes looking at something on his cell phone. After the explanation, Louis took a sheet of paper from his notebook, trying to concentrate on making the notes that the teacher was passing on the blackboard, as only one of the pair needed to write, and Styles shrugged when he noticed that Louis was already writing.
A few minutes passed and Harry rolled his eyes at the quiet omega that was now solving some of the equations. Styles thought of asking something, because he hated that silence, but the omega seemed to want to avoid him, or even ignore him by the way he didn't look into his eyes and how he moved away, practically falling off the chair he was sitting on just to avoid getting closer. Louis was nervous and mentally thanked that Harry wasn't talking to him, he was afraid to speak too softly if he had to answer him, that would definitely be very embarrassing and he didn't need the alpha to think he was an idiot. Styles ended up leaving aside the presence of the omega, playing a game on his cell phone to pass the time while the teenager next to him finished their work.
When the bell rang, Louis hurriedly got up from his chair, gathering all the material in his hands along with the sheet of paper that had his and Harry's name on it, leaving the sheet on the teacher's desk and then following the path to the door so he could leave the room, completely ashamed for that, and Styles rolled his eyes for that strange attitude.
“How are you doing with your partner? Mine is wonderful and very tasty,” Zayn said to Harry when the room was getting empty and Margot was no longer present.
“No need to make me jealous, I'm the one who's going to fuck her first,” Harry answered directly, as he was frustrated that his partner was someone so boring that he couldn't even speak.
“I couldn't pay attention to anything she explained to me, she smells really good,” Malik teased his friend, because he thought it was funny to see him angry and frustrated like that.
“Lucky for you, because I was bored to death with that Tomlinson, he is really weird, as people say, he didn't even look at my face, we didn't talk or anything and he did everything by himself, not that I understand anything about mathematics, but it wouldn't hurt to ask if I knew, right? He thinks he's so smart and knows everything.” Harry rolled his eyes again, walking Zayn out of the room, they still had a long and full day ahead of them.
“Because he's the smart one and the know-it-all,” Zayn confirmed as if it were an obvious thing to say.
“You have a point.” Harry nodded, because as much as he didn't notice the omega, he knew that the teachers spoke highly of him for his impeccable grades.
“Stop being stupid, at least your grades will be good. Margot is smart, and we even flirted while she tried to teach me the equations, poor her if she thinks I understood anything,” Zayn sneered, putting a cigarette to his ear as a charm, offering one to Harry, who denied it only because he didn't want to smoke that day, it was the first day of school and he didn't want to have the smell of cigarettes on his clothes because some omegas didn't like the smell and Styles definitely wouldn't want to keep them away.
“On the bright side, I'm glad she's not my partner, because from what I understand about this job, we're going to have to stay with the same partner for a few months, and I'd hate to have her on my back after we've had sex, you know how the omegas at this school can't get over me, right?” Harry showed off like he always used to, making the dark alpha male roll his eyes.
“I wouldn't mind fucking her more than once, she seems really good.” Malik was sincere, but Harry shrugged, it wasn't as if he needed to be stuck with one person, classes were back in session and with them, the new students, the alpha definitely needed to enjoy it.
“For some cases we make exceptions,” Harry answered, because of course he had had sex more than once with a certain person, especially when he was angry about something, upset, or just frustrated, anyone who wanted to please him was welcome.
“Now, good luck to you, who will have to deal with the nerd.” Zayn didn't stop teasing; it was the first time he had the upper hand against his friend.
“Tell me about it,” Harry snorted as he remembered, not noticing the smile Malik gave when he noticed something.
“I think you should invest in him, he's kind of hot,” Zayn commented, and Harry stared at him in surprise.
“Tomlinson? I never thought about that,” Styles replied thoughtfully, that omega was really like an invisible person to him, sometimes he even forgot his existence.
“I think he's hot, don't you?” Zayn admitted, because who was he kidding? As reserved as he was, the omega was very handsome with his striking blue eyes, thick thighs, and ample ass, but of course, nerds were more difficult to get and Malik liked easy things, his teenage life was already too complicated.
“I don't notice him much to be honest, but now that you mention it, today when he left the room, I noticed that he has a really big ass,” Harry commented to his friend, because his eyes obviously followed the omega getting up in a hurry to leave, being surprised by the news.
“Try to get a head start on this job,” Zayn suggested, and Harry laughed softly.
“I don't know. Who knows, he seems to be difficult,” Styles commented a little lazily, it was always easier when people ran after him, but he couldn't deny that challenges were good once in a while.
“Since when is anyone a challenge to you?” Zayn joked, crossing his arms over his chest, looking at his curly haired friend a little thoughtfully.
“I'm a great charmer, I'm sure he won't be able to resist my charms,” Harry said after a while, because of course he wouldn't show his friend that getting with an omega could be difficult, even if at that moment he wasn't that interested in Tomlinson.
“I want to see that one,” Zayn doubted, but somehow that wasn't a priority at the moment, they had other matters to attend to, the day was just beginning.
Meanwhile, Louis was hurrying through the halls with Niall following him, the omega was extremely embarrassed, not knowing which way he was going, but he just wanted to escape from that place full of people, he couldn't believe what was happening, and Horan rolled his eyes, trying to keep up with the fast steps of the omega. Tomlinson entered an empty room, sitting down at one of the tables, covering his head with his arms as he tried to hide, making Niall laugh, because Louis was extremely adorable.
“He must think I'm an idiot,” Louis said, embarrassed. He had told Niall how he acted around the alpha, but the beta started laughing and that made the situation worse.
“I can't believe you ignored him,” Niall replied, shocked, because if Louis was into Harry this would be a great opportunity for him.
“I didn't ignore him, I just don't know what to say,” Louis tried to explain, and Niall decided not to press him too much on the subject, grabbing a chair to sit in front of the omega.
“How come you never told me you like him?” Niall asked his friend, who looked down, not knowing what to say, his cheeks extremely hot now.
“Because it's not that easy, and like I said, I don't know if I really like him, maybe I just think he's handsome and that's all,” Louis answered one of his assumptions, sometimes he thought it was better to believe that he didn't like the alpha, it would be so much easier if it were true.
“You're practically trembling at the prospect of knowing that for the next two months you'll be sitting in every math class with Harry Styles. Not to mention that you'll have to meet outside of class to do the work, so definitely if you only thought he was handsome, you wouldn't be so nervous,” Niall pointed out, and Louis's eyes widened, because he was indeed nervous about this, even if he had forgotten the part about meeting outside of school, he would definitely die.
“I forgot that part,” Louis answered clumsily, thanking him mentally when the bell rang again, indicating to the students that they should enter their respective rooms, passing in front of Niall without waiting for an answer from him, and again the beta followed him, hating that mania his friend had of trying to literally run away from the subjects.
“Speak of the devil,” Niall commented when back in the hallway, they spotted Harry Styles again and Louis couldn't move, stopping where he was with Niall standing next to him, surprised when Styles stared at Louis as he passed by him, blinking one of his eyes at the omega in a seductive way before going on his way.
“He just... What?” Louis blinked in confusion, not believing that the alpha had done that to him. Okay, it didn't mean much, but his heart was racing at the moment.
“Look, Tomlinson, I told you. You're a heartbreaker,” Niall celebrated, it was the first time Louis had ever called someone's attention to himself in that sense, and the omega would like to stick his head in a hole.
“He probably got confused, maybe someone passed behind me and... Stop it, Niall,” Louis was saying, but had to push his friend away when Niall made mention of squeezing his flushed cheeks.
“You have red cheeks, that's so cute!” Niall revealed, his friend was extremely adorable and it was a novelty to see him like this. All these years they had been studying together, Horan was used to the other's way.
“No, it's not cute!” Louis tried to deny it, but a pout formed on his lips that proved this even more since he now looked like an angry kitten.
“Looks like this math assignment is going to be the talk of the town,” Niall smiled excitedly, he had high expectations, while Louis just wished he could get home soon and drown himself in his big sheets, there at least he would be protected.
He never imagined that he would get closer to Harry Styles, he hoped at least that the alpha would be a nice person as he used to imagine and that he would understand his shy way of being, even if deep inside he tried to ignore his feelings. After all, he would never be something more to Harry, right?
After the big event in the quiet life of Louis Tomlinson—because, yes, that simple first day of school managed to completely shake the life of the omega, mainly because the student couldn't forget the way Harry Styles was much more handsome in person, and that woody smell of his; no words in the world could describe such perfection. That was what went through the blue-eyed boy’s mind for a whole day, he was extremely silly and he knew it, sometimes he was even ashamed of his way of acting about situations, but it was the first time that an alpha had "flirted" with him, because according to Niall, a wink meant that.
Harry, on the other hand, hadn't thought it was a big deal—he had a habit of flirting or being cheeky with anyone, but, after his conversation with Zayn, he allowed himself to pay a little more attention to the omega; blue eyes, the pink mouth, the button nose, the body moulded perfectly for his size, and yes, he was indeed handsome and attractive, but it wasn't like Styles was going to waste his time with just that omega, he needed to enjoy it like he always did, one of the reasons he ended up going to bed with Margot the next day, he didn't have math class that day and took advantage of the fact that he didn't like sociology class so he could enjoy it with the omega. There was nothing major, of course, just a normal fuck that he probably wouldn't repeat any time soon. After all, she was just the same as everyone else.
On Wednesday, Louis arrived early in math class since Niall would be late that day and miss class. He was a little more tired and scented, he wished he could wear one of his baggy sweatshirts, but he would never abandon his traditional uniform, trying to look calm, because he had already seen Harry when he arrived and knew that soon the alpha would arrive so they could continue their work. After much thought, the omega came to the conclusion that he needed to leave his shyness aside, maybe if he feigned disinterest it would be less embarrassing, but just thinking about it made his heart race, he didn't know how to pretend. He didn't want to change his personality, not having any more time to think about it when the alpha appeared in the room, fiddling with his cell phone extremely concentrated.
Harry looked up, looking for the omega when he noticed that most of the students were already sitting with their pairs, smiling sideways when he met Louis with his eyes, and the omega pretended he didn't see that, opening his notebook, taking a pen to scribble on the sheets, pretending he was writing something, and Styles approached. They were in the middle of the room and as much as the green-eyed guy preferred the back of the room, he didn't say anything, loosening his tie even more, the buttons of his white shirt open, revealing his chest tattoos, and Louis wondered how the extremely wrong uniform managed to look perfect on his body. Harry knew that Zayn wasn't in class that day because his friend was with Margot, so they decided to skip class together and Styles knew the consequence.
“What are you writing there?” Harry asked the omega to try to stave off the boredom. There was no shame in facing him, he looked different that day, the uniform was extremely perfect on his body, no loose buttons, the straight and nice tie on his neck, it looked like it had just come out of an expensive store, the suit ironed and also new, the straight hair on the side looked a little wet judging that the omega probably took a nice scented shower before leaving home.
“Notes,” Louis answered slowly, raising his gaze minimally to face the alpha, but couldn't for long, lowering his head and turning his attention back to the sheet of paper, changing pages, putting in the one for work since he had made some notes when he was at home.
“May I see?” Harry asked curiously, after all, something inside him would like to know what drew the attention of that omega so much that he didn't pay attention to anything else, just writing, not knowing that it was a way to disguise his shy way.
“Of course…” Louis didn't really know what to say, deciding to show his notebook to the alpha, anyway they were doing the work together and were a duo.
“Wow,” Harry replied, surprised to see the omega's handwriting. It was very detailed and easy to understand, besides correctly following the lines of the notebook.
“What?” Louis asked worriedly, looking at the paper to see if he had done something wrong.
“Your handwriting is quite beautiful,” Harry admitted, because it was true, his handwriting looked like a scribble next to the omega's, and Louis pursed his lips in surprise at the compliment.
“Oh... Thank you,” Louis thanked him clumsily, tucking his bangs behind his ears in a way he did when he was embarrassed, biting his lips to try to control himself.
“Look, I know you probably think I don't know anything about maths, and the truth is that I really don't. But that teacher over there always says that I don't do anything during his classes, so if I can pretend to be doing something sometimes... Maybe I'll be free of the make up work this year,” Harry commented to the omega, losing a little focus when Louis stared at him so he could pay attention, his eyes were so blue that Styles couldn't look at anything else at that moment, the long eyelashes matched even more, and he tried to avoid looking at the omega's mouth, he didn't want to be so obvious.
“That's fine... But if you want, I can help you learn, it's not that hard,” Louis agreed, answering the alpha in his normal tone of voice, and Harry smiled excitedly—was this some kind of invitation or flirtation from the omega?
“That depends, maybe I can't concentrate…” Harry decided to test him, using his husky and seductive voice, getting a little closer to the omega, who felt his heart racing.
“It's easy if you really want to learn,” Louis replied, picking up his notebook again, no longer staring at Harry because he would hate for the alpha to see his cheeks flush.
“You can try to teach me.” Harry was more direct, gruff and seductive, hoping that the omega would stare at him so they could continue, but Louis just agreed, bowing his head in shame, leaving Styles surprised that he didn't have an answer.
When the teacher arrived in the room, Louis put his attention on him, trying to ignore when Harry took his case and started looking at his pencils and pens, then the alpha took the omega's notebook, analysing it for being in boredom, and Tomlinson tried to hide his smile, because Styles was curious. It was hard now to pay attention to anything when the alpha took his colored pens and drew stars, his signature, some little faces with a smile on the last sheet of the notebook, repeating that with different colours, just because he was bored and didn't want to hear what the teacher was saying, showing the omega when he finished the colored sheet full of signatures.
“As your work is about statistics, each group can choose a theme from the ones I put on the blackboard, you will have to be creative, I want question forms related to the theme and you will need to do the calculation afterwards, okay?” the teacher was explaining, and Harry paid attention to that part, concluding what his task would be in that work, it wouldn't be that hard, and Louis realised that the alpha had also understood.
“Look how easy it is, I'll take the disclosure part of our form and you do the calculations, what do you think?” Harry asked, because it would be easy to get that, only if he posted on his Instagram asking people to answer he could, not to mention his contacts, he was friends with the football team and could ask for help from Liam Payne, the team captain.
“That's a good idea,” Louis agreed, glad to know that Harry would help him, he was afraid that the alpha just wanted to get a grade for his effort, for years, Louis’ partners took that advantage only because they knew that the omega was smart.
“Which of these boring topics are we going to choose?” Harry asked as he watched some students choose the topics while the teacher wrote down their names. Louis never got to choose because he was embarrassed to call the teacher, since he would have to raise his voice, so he always got what was left, and this time would be no different because Harry didn't realise that he should have asked first.
“There's only one left…” Louis put his attention on the subjects on the blackboard, seeing only one that had not been crossed out, twisting his lips to see what it was about.
“Bullying? Really?” Harry asked grimly, finding that topic boring, there were other cool ones like fast food, sports, and social networks, but other students had been faster.
“Yeah…” Louis agreed, also not very happy with that theme, he didn't like that subject very much, mainly because he had always suffered bullying when he was a child, but he couldn't avoid it forever and it was important to talk about it.
“This year I need to be a new person, so we're going to kill this job, Tomlinson, because it would be terrible to repeat the year again,” Harry said truthfully, because the fear of repeating the third year was worse, he had promised his father that he would take care of it, he didn't want to lose his luxuries, much less his car, the second year he managed to pass only the make up papers, the alpha wasn't stupid, he just didn't have much interest.
“Did you really repeat the year?” Louis asked, surprised, because some people said that about Harry and he had heard it, but he didn't believe it sometimes.
“Yes, I used to be very lazy, not that I'm not now, but I was worse. I was also never very responsible with my assignments, my old man got mad and decided that he wouldn't pay for the exams I didn't do, so I ended up repeating the first year Harry explained, and Louis agreed, the natural way the alpha talked about it really surprised him.
“You say that so calmly,” Louis commented, and Harry shrugged, it wasn't as if he was ashamed.
“What can I do? There's no going back, and even if there was I probably wouldn't.” Harry was sincere and Louis agreed, not really knowing what to say.
“You don't look any older.” Louis looked down as he said it, he was trying to make conversation because he liked hearing his alpha's voice.
“I've only been older than you for a year, okay? It's not like I'm Santa Claus or the history teacher,” Harry joked, and Louis couldn't help himself, letting a laugh escape his lips, because their history teacher was an old but very intelligent man, but Tomlinson quickly regretted it, bringing his hands to his lips to cover his smile.
“Sorry…” Louis said softly for his reaction, feeling embarrassed because he thought his laugh was ugly, but Harry obviously didn't think so, not having time to say anything, because the teacher on called him so he could write down his and Louis' name in the subject of the paper.
They were officially with that subject, and when the bell rang, Louis gathered his materials, getting a little nervous when he realised that Harry was following him, they had already talked a little about how the work would work, but nothing too much, and Louis was praying that Niall would arrive soon, while Harry looked shamelessly at the omega's ass. He wasn't a saint, he wasn't doing anything too much, he wasn't abusive enough to touch Louis without permission, but just looking wouldn't make much difference since the omega didn't know he was looking. And Tomlinson was trying to cover it up, but Styles followed him out of the room, so the omega turned around when he realised that the alpha would like to say something.
“Do you have anything to do this afternoon?” Harry was straightforward, he wasn't one to curl up, mentally thanking the hallway for being so huge, facing the omega, completely seductive, and Louis held his breath when the alpha came even closer, putting his arm on the wall so he could lean on it and stare at the smaller body in front of him. Tomlinson felt like soft jelly at that moment, he could easily crumble from nervousness, he could smell the alpha's scent much stronger now, he had never been so close to an alpha in his entire life.
“I…” Louis didn't answer right, he couldn't face the alpha, his head was down, and Harry, as an alpha, liked that because Louis was very submissive, he couldn't even face him because he was embarrassed, and that made the alpha interested. Harry was charmed by the sweet way of the omega, taking his hand to his chin, lifting it to face him, and Tomlinson was blushing. In his mind he looked horrible like that, but Harry thought he was much more beautiful all red.
“I think we could…” Harry tried to seduce the omega to get a kiss, or maybe at least a selfie, he wanted to try the sweet smelling lips, especially when he noticed that Louis seemed to use strawberry gloss, the smell was noticeable, it wasn't very apparent, his lips were just wet and with a little red tint, but it wasn't exaggerated like some people used to use, it seemed even natural, but the alpha could smell the scent from being so close. Unfortunately, he couldn't take advantage of it since the omega moved away from his arms.
“I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll email you the form later,” Louis said, not looking back when he left the alpha. If he did, he would give away his condition even more, he didn't understand what was happening, how Harry had the courage to even consider kissing him? He had probably kissed a lot of people already and would laugh at Louis' kiss, because the omega didn't know how to kiss.
“Tomlinson, Tomlinson…” Harry murmured, not noticing the sideways smile that formed on his lips, something being born inside the alpha at that moment, increasing his interest even more, wishing he had more of that omega who was moving away from his touches. His smell was present in his nostrils and he would go crazy like that.
During class, Harry was confused about Louis, he could see him a few times down the hall and in his biology class with Niall Horan, but he didn't approach the omega, he preferred to talk to him when they were alone, and Louis managed not to look at him because he knew that if he tried it would be an invitation for Harry to seek him out. During lunch break, Styles was part of the popular table with Liam Payne, other alphas from the team, Zayn, and some omegas, not being able to give much attention to them at that moment, because his eyes were on Tomlinson, who seemed to chat excitedly with his beta friend in line to get the dish of the day.
“Do you guys know anyone who has hooked up with Tomlinson?” Harry asked the group, drawing their attention, who looked at each other, some trying to remember who the person was the alpha was referring to, and some laughing in disbelief at the question.
“Are you interested in the nerd?” Liam asked, surprised, because Harry didn't have that reputation—he went out with many people, but the nerds were always seen as inferior, and most of the time it was an embarrassment to go out with them.
“We are doing some work together, I want to get to know him better,” Harry answered sincerely. It wasn't a lie in a way, people didn't allow themselves to give different attention to the omega, and Harry was like that, until he realised what he was missing, at that time of the championship it didn't matter if the omega was a nerd, he was beautiful and hot and Styles wanted him.
“I don't know anyone who's been with him,” Liam replied, shrugging his shoulders and looking at the other people sitting at the table, but no one seemed to know anything.
“That's if he's ever been with anyone in his life, right?” Kendall Jenner joked, unable to help herself, causing some of the alphas and their omega friends to laugh.
“For all I know, he's friends with Niall Horan, you can get information from him,” Margot said, and Harry put his attention on the omega, arching his eyebrows at her for being there next to Zayn, who was, as always, in the world of the moon.
“Are you really going to insist on the nerd? What do you know,” Zayn joked with his best friend, staring at Liam, who smiled at the other alpha's words. Everyone there knew that Liam and Zayn had a complicated situation in their relationship, they sometimes hooked up, but it was never serious, they hooked up with other people to distract themselves even though everyone knew they liked each other, but admitting it was harder.
“Shut up,” Harry stressed, leaving the table while he adjusted the red cap on his head—it wouldn't be easy to get information like this, so he decided to look for the beta, who was luckily sitting at a table by himself, probably waiting for Louis.
“Niall Horan, can we talk?” Harry asked, surprising the beta, sitting down on the bench facing the blond, who stared at him still trying to process what was happening.
“Harry Styles talking to me? I'm honoured. What can I do for you?” Niall joked, and Styles smiled proudly, because of course he wouldn't stop showing off, after all he was popular there and everyone knew him.
“I heard that you are friends with Tomlinson.” Styles was direct, and Niall bit his lips trying to contain his happiness at knowing that the alpha male was asking about his friend.
“Yes, I am,” Niall replied, and Harry licked his lips, smiling cheekily in his direction.
“I'm interested in him, what do I have to do to get him?” the alpha asked quietly, not wanting to draw too much attention, and Niall knew how much Louis would freak out when he heard about it.
“Louis is different from the omegas you know, he's shy,” Niall revealed an important point, not least because all the omegas who went out with Styles definitely had to keep up with the alpha's pace.
“I get that, but what do I need to do to get something going?” Harry rolled his eyes as he said it because it was more than obvious and he really wanted to know what to do so he could be direct.
“Believe me, I've been trying to figure this out for years, you're just going to have to figure it out on your own.” Niall spoke the truth—he always tried to get an alpha for Louis, but nothing worked out, he even tried with omegas, because maybe his friend preferred his own kind, but Louis acted the same way, and with betas too, he was too shy to hold a conversation with anyone. Harry huffed angrily, he was already expecting this, leaving the table to leave the beta alone again, and Louis, who was approaching, saw the alpha, finding it strange that he was talking to Niall, walking quickly to his friend to find out what was going on.
“What did Harry say to you?” Louis asked, sitting down on the table and putting his food on top of the surface, his curious blue eyes now on his friend.
“He said he's interested in you, can you believe it?” Niall revealed, and the omega arched his eyebrows in surprise.
“Is he serious?” Louis asked, but his insecurities made him doubt it.
“I told you you had it all! Now just let it roll and grab that alpha!” Niall shrugged. Of course, it wasn't that simple, the omega thought.
“I can't,” Louis replied quietly, a little saddened, but he knew it was for the best.
“What? Why not?” the beta questioned without understanding—after all, Louis liked Harry.
“He... I... We're different, he probably just wants to...you know.” Louis felt his cheeks flush as he said it, because you'd think alphas like Harry would only think about sex.
“Do you think so?” Niall asked, trying to hope that maybe it wasn't just that, but it was Harry Styles, cogitating on that was even funny.
“Of course, Niall. I'm not stupid,” Louis said lowly, staring at his food, fiddling with his fork a little despondently.
“But it can be so... I mean, don't you want to experience what it's like?” Niall asked in relation to having a real experience with an alpha.
“No, I'm not ready, and there are other factors holding me back too. I don't know how to act, I'm embarrassed, and my body is hideous. He probably tells his friends everything, and I don't want them to make fun of me.” Louis felt nervous just thinking about it, he had already gone through five heat waves since his first one at fifteen, in moments like that he thought about having an alpha, but it was just his instinct speaking louder, he was definitely not sure about having sex, much less showing his body to someone, it was hard even for him sometimes.
“Don't think those things, Louis. You're beautiful,” Niall assured him, he knew he was right even if the omega didn't listen to him. Louis had heard many things from a very young age regarding his size, appearance, body, way of acting, and with time he started to believe it.
“I don't like to talk about it, and he... He's like that, you know, but he's also nice, if he wants to be my friend... Harry is funny.” Louis made another assumption, he would like to be close to Styles, that would be enough if the alpha wanted, but the omega was sure that things didn't work that way, sometimes he even wondered how he could have Niall as a friend in that place, it was hard to keep friendships.
“What if during this math work something happens? You can get to know each other better,” Niall reinforced his idea again, but Louis denied it with his head.
“I don't think he's willing, but he'll give up on me eventually. He'll realise that I'm not all that, it's for the best,” Louis closed the subject, deciding to eat a little because he was hungry since he hadn't had a proper breakfast that day because he had spent too much time getting ready, only because he knew he would sit with the alpha in the first class—he was an idiot.
Niall was the kind of friend that preferred not to argue. It was hard to put something in Louis' head, and he knew that the conversation would go nowhere, but the beta had hopes that maybe it would work out. He didn't remember seeing Harry Styles asking about how to win someone over, the alpha just got to whoever he wanted. And Harry on the other hand, was walking blindly through the halls while following Zayn, who was talking something about his motorcycle and Styles wasn't paying attention because he was doing something more important, even if he was unsuccessful.
“Louis doesn't post any pictures of himself properly on instagram, he only has pictures with his sisters and pictures of landscapes,” Harry grumbled, showing his cell phone to his friend, who stared at him in disbelief for not paying attention to his rant, rolling his eyes, but looking at his instagram, surprised by the minimal amount of followers and the few pictures, none at parties, some landscape pictures in some places in the world, but the omega didn't show up.
“Are you stalking him on instagram? Like, is this serious?” Zayn asked, surprised, and Harry shrugged.
“What's up? Are you going to tell me you've never done that?” Harry crossed his arms and stared at his friend, and Zayn couldn't deny it, because of course he had already done it and he doubted that anyone had never done it.
“You really took what I said seriously, huh?” Malik commented to Harry, who agreed, even though he himself was surprised.
“He's really handsome, I didn't have time to notice before because I never approached him like that, but now that I've paid attention to him I can't stop thinking about how much I need to be with him.” Styles had made up his mind about this, he was alone in the hallway with Zayn since it had only been a short time since the bell had rung and the students were leaving.
“You said he would fall at your feet, but apparently he didn't,” Malik recalled, and Harry rolled his eyes.
“He's shy, okay? But he's worth it, he's really quite beautiful.” Styles was being sincere, and today he was sure how much that omega hid his beauty.
“Are you in love yet?” Zayn asked to tease his friend.
“Of course not, we are doing work together and I thought if, during this time, I could get something with him it would be interesting,” Styles concluded, it would be a great way to study.
“Your interest is to have sex with him while you could be doing work, am I right?” Malik concluded because it was the alpha's habit to do that, but he couldn't judge him either, they were equals.
“It would be great, those thighs and ass. His smell is so sweet, he has an innocent face, imagine if he's like that during sex…” Harry licked his lips as he imagined it, trying to push those thoughts out of his head quickly so as not to run the risk of getting aroused, but his mind always returned to the angelic, innocent face.
“You'll go crazy if you keep having these thoughts,” Zayn advised, because he was also an alpha and didn't want to think about it, he had other interests.
“His lips are so pink, I wanted to kiss him today, but he pulled away.” Harry twisted his lips in annoyance, it was just a kiss and it was no big deal, he always kissed people for no reason, he even thought it was normal to kiss.
“Did he pull away? You're not serious? You were rejected!” Zayn was disbelieving, laughing as he stared at his friend's surprised expression, and Harry growled low.
“Of course not!” the alpha answered, crossing his arms.
“Harry Styles was rejected by nerdy Louis, I'm starting to love this omega,” Zayn said. He was starting to like the omega; no one else was able to reject his friend, so Tomlinson had already won a few points.
“He was just nervous, but I'll get to kiss him another time,” Harry said confidently. Kissing was no big deal, right? Louis would kiss him, everyone likes to kiss, kissing is good and the omega would give in, he was probably just embarrassed.
“Do you really want him? Do you want to live a romance?” Zayn didn't stop teasing because it was so obvious, Harry had never insisted so much on omegas.
“Shut up. I'm not the kind of alpha who dates, I just want to enjoy it. We're young and he and I can have a fling, who knows, the no strings attached kind,” Styles suggested, rolling his eyes as Zayn let out another exaggerated laugh, but this time the alpha seemed to really be having a fit of laughter.
“And you really think Louis Tomlinson would want no strings attached sex with you? My friend, Harry, you need to know more about omegas,” Zayn managed to say when he stopped laughing, but his eyes were watery and his face red.
“Any omega would love this opportunity,” Styles showed off, because he knew his potential.
“We are talking about Louis Tomlinson, he showed himself to be different from the others,” Malik joked, and Harry didn't believe much about it, no one was equal to anyone else that's a fact, but in the end everyone wants the same thing.
“But he is still an omega, and I am a very attractive alpha, he will give in. And I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm not forcing him into anything, I'm trying to take it slow, but I know how to seduce, and our instincts will help us.” Harry was realistic, and Zayn preferred not to argue.
“This Louis seems like the romantic type.” Zayn was a little thoughtful, now walking with his friend towards the school exit, it was probably going to start raining in a few minutes.
“Do you think so?” Harry asked, interested.
“Probably, if you want something with him you'll have to spend some money,” Zayn advised, walking towards his car, unlocking it with the small control of his key.
“That wouldn't be a problem anyway,” Harry replied, because he received pocket money from his mother and an unlimited credit card from his father, it definitely wasn't a problem.
“You? On a date? I doubt it,” Zayn laughed, leaning against his own car in disbelief.
“He's not boring like you all think, okay? He's a nice conversationalist, it wouldn't be a waste of time to go out with him, sometimes I just don't have anything to do,” Harry defended the omega—they had talked little, but he could see that Louis was a great person to exchange some ideas with.
“Then call him to go to the movies,” Zayn made a suggestion that left the alpha thoughtful.
“That's a good one,” Harry agreed, bidding Zayn a handshake before the alpha got into his car.
Harry was always one of the last to leave school, so he went to his car that he got as a birthday present, a black Range Rover, and pulled out of the parking lot, noticing that the weather was changing and that it was going to rain—but something caught his eye, and he could recognize Louis. The omega was now standing alone at the door of the school as he seemed to wait for something, he was a little nervous and embarrassed to be staying behind and alone, and Styles didn't think twice before manoeuvring the car to go towards him.
“Tomlinson, want a ride?” Harry asked as he lowered the rear view mirror of the car, and Louis was a little startled because a huge car was approaching him, but he was more relieved when he saw the alpha.
“No, thanks. My driver will pick me up in a bit, he was late today, I think something happened,” Louis answered, a little worried. He had sent a message to the driver and to his father to find out what had happened, because his driver always arrived before the students were even released.
“What is it? Tell him you got a ride, we can talk about the project on the way, what do you think?” Harry suggested, and Louis looked around. He was getting lonely and afraid to stand there without anyone. The school street was pretty empty because it was clearly going to rain and everyone had already left so as not to get caught in the rain.
“I don't know... You don't have to change your route just to get me home.” Louis was embarrassed at this moment, staring at his cell phone when he received a message from his driver, telling him that the car had broken down on the way and he was in a shop, apologising for the event, and the omega understood, answering that everything was fine and that he had already taken a cab.
“It wouldn't be a problem, you live in which subdivision?” Harry asked, drawing Louis' attention again.
“Drayton Gardens,” the omega replied, and could see Harry give a smile.
“I live in the subdivision next to yours. It's starting to rain and there's hardly anyone else here, it's not nice to be alone,” Harry said to the omega, being surprised to learn that they lived near each other and didn't know it, and Louis was also surprised.
“Okay, thanks.” Louis decided to accept, he had never gotten into an unknown car, but he felt safe with Harry, he had known him since first grade and had never heard anything bad about the alpha, and he would rather be with Harry than alone taking a nice rain shower, because it didn't take long for it to start raining after he got into the car.
“Rainy days suck” Harry broached the subject as he drove, the rain was heavy, it was harder on the traffic, it usually ended up getting a bit jammed, but on one hand it would be good so they could talk.
“I like …” Louis replied lowly, looking at the closed window as the rain fell, trying to look behaved because his parents gave him education and he was in a car that wasn't his, so he avoided touching anything, not that he was the kind of person who goes around touching everything, but he preferred this way, feeling cosy in the warm car that had the alpha's smell, Harry's pheromones leaving him tranquil and light.
“I don't like it much, but today I've been a little bit lucky.” Harry decided to flirt a little, regretting it when the omega tried to disguise it, bowing his head slightly, feeling his cheeks blush in embarrassment, he didn't know what to answer back to the alpha, and Styles twisted his lips, deciding to change the subject.
“About our work, are you going to ask the questions?” Harry asked now in his normal tone, he could feel the omega's change through his smell, Tomlinson was a little nervous and Styles was afraid that it was because of his presence, maybe Louis was afraid of him trying something in there, but the truth was that the omega just didn't know how to react when he was near Harry and ended up getting a little nervous.
“Yes," Louis replied, licking his lips, trying to calm down a little, he didn't need all that, they were just talking, he didn't want to seem strange.
“If you want to turn on the radio or the heater, feel free.” Styles pointed to the car's dashboard quickly, staring at the streets and the rainy sky, and Louis stared at the alpha driving, he looked even more handsome doing that.
“No need, thank you,” Louis thanked him, he was too embarrassed to move.
“So... You didn't answer me when I asked you that question earlier today,” Styles started when he realised that they were going to run out of things to say.
“What question?” the omega asked, trying to remember.
“Are you doing anything this afternoon?” Harry asked, and Louis took a deep breath, he understood what that meant. Styles wanted to go out with him and he couldn't believe it.
“I have French class,” the omega replied, it wasn't an excuse, he really had class today.
“What about tonight?” Harry insisted, leaving the omega thoughtful.
“I don't know... Probably nothing,” Louis replied, trying to disguise his nervousness.
“Do you want to go out tonight?” Harry asked the omega.
“Go out with you?” Louis asked, embarrassed and surprised, it was really what he was thinking, not noticing when his question ended up being interpreted in another way.
“Come on, I'm not that bad,” Harry joked, making the omega blush, because he didn't mean it that way, he was just disbelieving that Harry Styles was really asking him out.
“It's not that, it's just... I don't think it's a good idea,” Louis replied, hoping that the alpha didn't get upset with him.
“Why not?” Harry asked, surprised. He had never been rejected.
“I'm not much of a night person,” Tomlinson answered shyly, he was an idiot and he knew it, but he knew that going out at night could be more dangerous, especially for omegas, and his parents could be worried.
“Everything has a first time,” Harry commented hopefully.
“I can't today, but can I think about the answer? Maybe tomorrow,” Louis suggested, embarrassed, because he needed to mentally organise himself for that, and maybe his class would end late that day since with the rain the teacher might be late.
“Of course,” Harry agreed happily, at least the omega would think about the possibility that they could go out the next day, and it would be even better.
“Thanks for the ride, it was very kind of you,” Louis thanked him when Harry entered his subdivision, showing him where his house was.
“No need to thank me.” The alpha smiled sideways, staring at the omega, especially his lips, not bothering to disguise it.
“I have to go now, my teacher will be here soon,” Louis replied, embarrassed when he realised that the alpha was staring at his lips.
“All right…” Harry agreed, waiting for Louis to take a small umbrella from his bag so he wouldn't get too wet walking up to his house.
“See you tomorrow,” Louis said, making mention of getting out of the car, but Harry interrupted him when he remembered something.
“Wait ... I don't have your number,” Styles recalled, taking his cell phone out to hand to the omega so that he could write down his number, and Louis, even though he was embarrassed, saved his contact, mentally thanking himself for knowing his number by heart.
“I think I deserve a kiss, don't you? I was nice today.” Harry decided to take a chance, and the omega stared at him in surprise, feeling his heart racing, because he watched movies, of course, and that always happened during good-byes in cars.
“A kiss?” Louis asked, surprised because he couldn't process in his mind that Harry Styles wanted to kiss him.
“Yeah,” Styles agreed eagerly, and the omega stared at him. Styles hadn't said where he wanted a kiss, so the omega slowly approached, leaving a kiss on the cheek of the alpha, who arched his eyebrows in surprise because he had expected something more.
“Bye and thanks again.” Louis smiled sideways before opening the car door and getting out, leaving Harry open-mouthed because he literally asked for a kiss and Louis didn't kiss him on the lips, it was kind of funny, because anyone would do anything to kiss his lips, but Louis seemed to be the only one who didn't care.
“That omega is unbelievable.” Harry smiled silly, shaking his head in denial as he remembered the scene, he never received a kiss on the cheek before that wasn't from his mother or grandmother, it was something too simple and innocent for an omega to do with him, sometimes he even greeted omegas with a kiss and it didn't seem important, he kissed many people in his life, but the kiss he wanted most was the hardest to get.
Harry didn't know what was happening to him, but every little encounter he had with the omega he felt like seeing him again, because Louis made him intrigued, anxious, and, with many expectations, the omega awoke in him an interest of curiosity, always making him wonder how it would be to kiss him, he was a secret in everything he did and Styles wanted to unveil every little part.
